• You have to define your authentic emerging professional voice and identity (Professional Capital) at the beginning of the storyboard (I do not necessarily want this to be a list of skills or behaviours).
• I would like it to be more thoughtful, so for example I would describe my professional identity and Voice as ‘a curious creative scholar who finds meaning and application of a range of tools and practices which enhances the learning of self and others’.
• I expect within the storyboard evidence (this can be from the ‘tools’ discussed in the lecture and also available within the Reflective Space in VLE); I do not expect or accept appendices.
• I am not obsessed by word counts (it is a guide, as long as it does not become a thesis; after all you can use poetry, photographs, lyrics, drawings, proverbs, tables, diagrams etc..)
• I would like in the storyboard the following;
Preface The preface is at the beginning of the storyboard (does not count in the word count). This is where you;
– Outline your approach to the storyboard which includes the theoretical perspective you are coming from and why (for example I am using Bolton (2010) writing through the mirror because it allows me to consider how I am seen by others; you can use more than one theoretical perspectives
– If you are using a metaphor, explain, the metaphor
– Explain the ‘reflective tools’ you are using and why
– The methodology (i.e. visual or auto ethnography, and why)
Label the storyboard Use subheadings to guide the reader (assessor) through your storyboard; try and be imaginative and ensure you labelling reflects your preface. Source evidence See guide in the VLE under Reflective Space for sourcing evidence. Have a bibliography Of all academic literature read, considered, at the end of the storyboard
